Sweet little baby from the hills somewhereHere's a pretty lovebud for your hairItty bitty girl sippin' GrenadineLook who's talking to Selfish GeneThere's a place way down in BrentwoodOut to Georgio's we all g'wineThe maître ‘d's gonna take care of everythingHe's a personal friend of mineWhat a prize you areHoney don't you scratch my new car

Selfish Gene he's one in a millionA safe harbor in every stormMany call but few are chosen

Hey pretty baby let's have a little funThe Pinot is flowing and the night's still youngOver and above and behind and betweenMake a little party for Selfish GeneSteady girl let me grab on your wig hatDown in the corncrib we shall goNo brains no regrets no worriesHidey hi hidey hey hidey hoKundalini now!Baby let me show you how

I guess that's everything I supposeThe playdate's over and the case is closedTell me momma that I didn't do rightTo have a little something on Amateur NightI feel sure that we'll meet again sometimeDon't see why and I don't know whenMaybe I'll catch you down at the dailyIf you haven't moved on by thenTake a dollar from the drawerDaddy's got a whole lot more

Selfish Gene needs clarity and closureThis is his house and that's your cabYou need a hug — now don't be bashful

Do yourself and your friend a favorYou don't bargain with Selfish GeneSelfish Gene don't take no prisoners
